Daycare and Preschool Moving in Boston and MetroWest

Families need notice, so the director sets the closure well ahead, often a Friday and weekend or a holiday week. Before children can attend at the new site, the center works through its licensing for that location, which is the center's responsibility. Once those dates are set, we schedule the move, weekends on request.

Centers around Greater Boston are in converted houses, church buildings, office parks, and storefronts, from Brookline and Newton to Framingham, Natick, and the I-495 towns. A center inside a church shares its halls with a congregation, and Sunday services take priority over our truck. Office-park centers along Route 9 and Route 128 usually have easier loading. Landlords sometimes want our insurance paperwork on file first; we email it on request.

Child-size furniture is light but awkward, and there is a lot of it. Chairs are stacked on carts, tables travel with legs padded, and cubbies and shelving get corner guards. Bins of toys and supplies are packed by teachers and labeled by room.

The director's rules govern the building. The crew works on days when no children are present, arrives when the director says, uses the entrances they choose, and props a door open when the director says it may be. After the move, the center cleans and sanitizes toys and surfaces under its own procedures before children return. Enrollment files and anything with family information stay with the director. Emergency cards, medication logs, and allergy lists travel with staff, because teachers need them on the first day back.
